Jewelery Photography Tips?

I am online seller, I have Nikon D60 SLR with VR 18-55mm Lens 1:3.5-5.6G. & Tripod. I have light tent also and 55 watt two fluorescent Lamps. I am first time with DSLR camera.. I am confused about settings.. Please help me for best sttings for Jewelry photography.

Please advise that how I can get sharp focus without having Macro lens.

Thanks.

You have made a good start with the tent and lamps – this should give you a nice diffuse light and a shadow free image with a plain background. Do not use flash – it will reflect off the object causing white patches on the image.

The camera should be mounted on the tripod. You should use a cable release to prevent nudging the camera when taking the shot. If you do not have a cable release, set the timer before taking the shot – this allows you to move your hands away from the camera and any wobbles to settle down.

Always use the highest quality setting for your images. You can reduce the image size later, but you cannot put back information that isn’t there.

Most cameras do not take the best images with their aperture wide open. The aperture controls the amount of light let into the camera by the lens. On your lens it will be f/3.5 at 18mm focal length and f/5.6 at 55mm, and will vary in between. On most lenses the sharpest image is found at f/8 to f/11.

You should set your camera into the semi-automatic mode that allows you to control aperture. As a Canon user I do not know what this setting is on Nikons. Set the aperture to f/8, and the camera will automatically set the shutter speed.

One problem you may encounter is depth of field. This is the distance away from the camera that is in focus. A large aperture (small number) gives a short depth of field meaning some of your object may be out of focus. Reducing the aperture (larger f number) increases the depth of field. This may be important for something like a necklace, but less so for earings.

You may find that when you view the full size image on your computer, it may be a little over or under exposed. This can either be adjusted in Photoshop, or better still by adjusting the camera settings. Since you will probably be doing this at home, try setting up the tent next to your computer. You can then shoot images straight to the PC using the supplied software, and see them at full resolution immediately.

You may also have a problem with the focal length of your lens. It may be necessary to buy a larger zoom lens to get close enough to get a good image. Alternatively you can buy extension tubes that fit between the camera and lens. This moves the lens further away from the sensor making the image bigger.
